Possibly the dumbest analogy of all time.  Well done.

Thanks I'm touched*

Hopefully if weak and wobbly wins she'll decide at some point whether you and the remainder of the Polish community can stay or not. Not that she really does caring about people.

It is quite simple. One candidate seems to be a decent human being.

(86% vote on twitter that he won last nights non debate-mind u they are all lefties on twitter.)

Mainly due to the right still trying to work out how their thumbs work.

May's "no deal is better than a bad deal" mantra is both hilarious and terrifying. It should be applied to football manangement. Imagine if England lost 1-0 in the World Cup final. Post match interview between Lineker and Southgate 

Lineker : unlucky Gareth, you must have been desperate for a deflection or one going in off someone's backside in that goalmouth melee in the last minute.

Southgate : oh no Gary, no goal is better than a bad goal.

Well, they're back!

Lewis Allessandra signs for Notts County on 2 year deal for undisclosed fee.

undisclosed - disgraceful

Mark Hughes (no, not that one) player/assistant manager at Bishop's Stortford.  I wish him luck; it was a complete shambles last season

I wish him nothing but luck, I'm in a tiny minority no doubt but I thought he did ok for us and he certainly gave his all which is all you can actually ask for.

I am ashamed I'm discussing her marital status!

Don't be, it's useful information for us divorcees.

4-1 and guess who got our goal from a penalty? The clue is in the posters title. Apparently Wood was told to stop James coming inside so he just ran outside around him.

James was excellent that day. Anybody remember another home defeat to Burnley, also 4-1? Anglo Scottish cup, Steve Kindon had a blinder for them that day.

Eric Cantona when with MU.

Sadly I have to agree. His display in the 5-2 game was about the best I've ever seen. Always seemed to be in 10 yards of space every time he received the ball and played killer pass after killer pass. Destroyed us.

Just before my time but his lad scored quite a few goals in our ill fated play off season, including a brilliant curler in a 2-0 win at Leeds. Condolences to the family. RIP

Always good to think that Tranmere will still be in the National League next season.

Tremendous pic that - wonder if his head positioning was deliberate.

He has also been praised a number of times by Shez for the work he does that goes unnoticed. Green will be offered a deal imo

He bloody should be, turned his season round impressively after the Lincoln debacle, hopefully that wasn't due to his realisation that his contract was soon to expire.

Wellens has passed his UEFA A licence today. Too much midfield class in 1 management team?

It is not like he is innocent by some great miscarriage of justice and was not even in the area though, as some seem to be acting as if happened. It was on legal technicalities, and some very controversial probably unique applications of the law. His legal team was free to pursue. He was lucky as other judges would not have applied in the sme way.
I argued aginst him on football grounds mainly and I accept on the face of it £500k is good bit of business but as detailed above it is not quite so clear cut. This is why I personally do not feel stupid, which was the question.

He's innocent in the eye of the law, which is totally accepted. 100%. He is free to puruse his career.

I am just glad we are not involved, and wish we never were, so no adulation or regret from me. I accpet others feel differently, and have not gloated or called anyone stupid for not agreeing with me.

 

No you haven't, as I said it wasn't a go at you at all. I was vocal at the time with my very out of vogue socially liberal attitudes that even if he was guilty he had paid his debt to society and was free to resume his career. I know that's not a popular view among the family club fraternity, my view, which I retain, is what could be more friendly to society than employing a rehabilitated criminal and allowing him to contribute positively to society. I don't expect sympathy or support for that view but if you don't hold true to your own principles what sort of society do we have at all? Maybe Thatcher was right and there is no such thing as society, I'm not sure I want to be part of one that sees Trump and Le Pen have electoral success and sees a supposedly mainstream British political party seek to subject children and young women to mandatory checks to ensure they haven't been genitally mutilated. We are, I'm afraid, through the looking glass.

He hasn't actually signed yet, more than a whiff of spin, and testing the water. He might do so:

His wages need to be taken into account. 

As O4U, you have to factor in a the cost of relegation. 

Entirely  possible we'd not have been able to sign Conor Ripley and almost certainly not afford Shez back. 

It was always more than just money. 

As Crusoe said he was toxic and convicted at  the time,

He was extremely lucky his conviction was quashed, it relied on some [unusual legal definitions rather than clear certainty. 

 

The fee is never in a million years going to be £500k up front. 

 

Not a go at you Singe but for the vast majority who didn't want to sign him he was a convicted rapist, it was as clear cut as that. Those of us who cast doubt on his conviction were met with hoots of derision and told a conviction was a conviction. It's a bit rich now he is deemed innocent to call him lucky.

Given that the winner is almost guaranteed not to be here next season let's give it to Ripley as we know he won't be. Wouldn't want to lose Clarke as well.

Bolton fans were saying Ngoo was the player that gave them most problems until he was sent off.

Obadeyi gave them more problems up top in 25 mins than Ngoo had given in 65.

Nice birthday present for me that today!

i agree with the comments about Fane - he has been excellent last two home games, slightly too early for the Viera comparisons perhaps but I think the lad is going to have a good career, got some engine on him.

Credit also to Green, Banks and Wilson. Green has had a decent career but on occasions earlier in the season (Lincoln particularly) looked like he'd never been acquainted with a round ball before.

Banks has had a beasting on here but made one particular interception / tackle today when there was a real mix up on the right hand side. He can also pick a pass and the fact he's a regular now means Shez can see something in him and I can see him being an important player next year.

Wilson is very much the unsung hero. Doesn't get anything like the credit Clarke gets (and Clarke has been immense) but very steady and the right side of a back 3 may just be his best position. Was it the genius Kelly trying to offload him to Notts County? He'd be here next year if it was my decision. 

All in all a great result, safety almost assured and signs that somewhere higher than 17th may be possible next year.

Having worked in Grimsby for 3 years the opportunity to go somewhere else for a few hours probably contributes to their away support.

Marc Klok has left Dundee. I think his time may be up.

How the thread has got this far without mention of Phil Starbuck is beyond me.

Wilder was quite complimentary about us on 5 live. Also agree with the comments on the minutes silence. The noise was clearly coming from behind the stand though quite why they didn't realise the rest of the stadium had descended into silence I'm not sure.

Really?

Never in doubt

caddis best player on the pitch? The only bother he caused was to the referee and linesmen,s ears

And your eyes apparently. Bossed the game first half slightly less so the second but easily the best player out there today.

No doubt it was a terrible tackle.After calling him every name under the sun,I have since calmed down.He has been out of side and probably wanted to make an impression and has been too over eager.He was probably gutted on the walk back to dressing room.Stupid,rash but let's not throw the book at him just yet.He needs to help himself now.

That's far too sensible an opinion to post on here pal.
